Utah-Sawyer's

We went to the children's museum at Thanksgiving point with my dad.  The kids (and adults) loved the music room.

Making cool shapes on the kaleidoscope


Playing in the earthquake zone

We went to a fun little pond to feed the ducks


Jaxson would alternate between feeding the ducks and feeding himself the "delicious bread" aka hot dog buns :).


And of course Jaxson and Kiah cannot be close to water without getting in the water, no matter how gross it may look.


Picking grapes

Uncle Andrew has a pet snake.  We went over to his house for breakfast and Jaxson was so brave to let the snake be around his neck!  Kiah wouldn't even go in the same room as the snake.


Jaxson was so thrilled to be playing uncle Andrew's drums and to be making lots of noise.  Kiah was making her own noise in the background :).

Playing a kazoo and shaking an egg

The kids love kitty Jupiter!  He was never super cuddly with them, but they enjoyed playing with him and trying to avoid his sharp teeth.

Bear Lake

The start of our Utah trip was at the cabin in Bear Lake.  The beach was a bit chilly, but we had fun playing in the sand and riding the kayaks.  The kids loved playing outside of the cabin as well.  Rocks, dirt, sticks, they were in heaven :).

 My favorite site during the 9 hour drive

Being silly with stickers to pass the time

Kiah and Grandma Bliss had the same color toes!

Kiah was a bit of a grump at the beach, but loved riding in the kayak.  She never really smiled, but when my mom would ask if she wanted to go back to mom or stay in the green boat she would say "green boat"  :).

Jaxson loved collecting seashells for the cabin


Feeding the kids Cheetos when their hands were all wet

The kids had a blast throwing water balloons off the cabin deck
